I have to admit I was surprised when I weighed in today and was down -1.7 lbs! I'll very happily take that any week :)

I have decided to walk a 5K every Sunday to get ready for my 5k walking race on May 10. I woke up and wasn't really in the mood to do it but after stepping on the scale I perked right up and had no problem getting it done. Some days are just like that. We don't always want to do what we know we need to do. Just do it.

Found a couple of interesting items in the grocery store today. For those of us that are in Canada I bought them in Zehrs/loblaws.
The naan rounds I think I'll use for open faced sandwiches or pizza's.

I also worked today so it was a pretty busy running around kind of day even without any extra exercise!

Dinner: at a board meeting! They had beef or chicken on huge kaiser buns, lettuce, dressing, croutons, home made tarts and fruit loaf and fresh fruit. I grabbed maybe 2 oz of shaved beef, a small piece of chicken breast with no sauce or breading, lots of lettuce, a bit of dressing, maybe 5 croutons and fresh fruit. I'm very happy with my choices but no idea on points so I'm not going to worry about it.

It was still really cold today! Come on Spring I want to feel warm again :)

Today I met up with my daughter Jen at Starbucks. I'm so glad we get to see each other regularly. This summer I'm visiting my son in British Columbia I'm so excited to see him again! Wish we lived closer.

After coffee it was time to meet up with my walking group. I have to admit after doing squats a few times last week and the walking race training my legs are feeling it today.

As I mentioned last week Mothers day is a 5K walking race and on Sunday's I'm walking 5K to practice for it. My goal is to be under 60 minutes. Last week was 62 minutes and today was 58 minutes!! I'm very happy with that.

Today is the last day of March break and I really hope that means it will be a bit quieter at work. I love busy but combine busy with a lot of very noisy teenagers :) At least yesterdays shift went fast!

This morning I was woken up by Snuffy because he thought he was going to wither away unless he was fed asap :)

Checked the temperature and it was -8 C which is pretty cool.

I made my breakfast and thought to myself I should just go back to bed. Yep that's what I wanted to do. Then I thought well if I go for a walk right now I'd get it over and done with and have the rest of the day to do other things. Nope I'm pretty tired I'll just go back for an hour. Oh smarten up and get your coat and boots on and JUST DO IT!! So I did :) Walked for 55 minutes.

Sometimes we need to do what we don't want to do. Sometimes it's eating the veggies on our plate, sometimes it getting our water in or getting a workout done. I'll tell you a secret....after I've done it I've never regretted doing it!!
